A board order is the board’s written decision about a doctor. It may record discipline, such as limits on the doctor’s work. Open it and read what the board decided. B
Ask in your own words
What name and license number will I find in the Arizona Medical Board record?

DO means doctor of osteopathic medicine, another kind of doctor degree with its own Arizona board. C
As of October 3, 2026, Arizona’s Osteopathic Board has a separate Find your DO search. C
An MD search does not replace that DO search. C
A short online history is not the whole history
Under Arizona rules checked October 6, 2026, only certain board records are shown online; people can request more public records. D

The five-year limit on online board actions does not apply to legally kept public meeting notices or minutes, the written account of a meeting. D
For an older concern about your doctor, ask the board for the public records it can release. Ask which meeting papers, if any, would help answer your question.
